Celebrations
Birthdays and other special occasions are important to children and we respect that having a party is one way to celebrate your child’s achievements. In our efforts to strengthen inclusionary practices, we would ask that party invitations be mailed out or delivered from home. If you are inviting the entire class to a party or event, we are happy to pass them out at school. We appreciate your participation. in helping us foster compassionate students at VMES!

WOW Butter
Please put a note in your child’s lunch if they have food that contains WOW butter or other nut-free alternatives. This is to ensure that our staff know that the student does not have peanut butter.

Popcorn Fridays!
Your Home & School Committee sells popcorn for recess snack every second Friday for $0.25

Happy Halloween!
Students are encouraged to wear a
crazy Halloween hat on Thursday
to school.
Costumes and props are not
permitted for safety reasons.
Thanks so much for your
cooperation.

Safety Notes
The safety of our students is a priority. Please call 529-5011 to notify us of an absence or late arrival. As well, please send a written note with your child if there is a change to their regular pick-up arrangement.
Parents are asked to use the centre door and to sign in with our school secretaries.
When dropping your child off at school, please use the circular “kiss and drop” area rather than the street.

Due to the life-threatening allergies of some students VMES is nut-free. Thank-you for your cooperation.
